@Daedalus what have you watched / read recently?
I’ve been reading Blue Lock and I started rewatching Gundam SEED again.

I really need to pick up Blue Lock’s manga. The anime makes me just want to wait until next season though.
I’ve really been reading a lot of different manhwa/webtoons. Just got caught up on Overgeared, finished The Greatest Estate Developer as well.
My current read list is really this:
Overgeared
Star-Embracing Swordmaster
Nano Machine
Swordmaster’s Youngest Son
Revenge of the Iron-Blooded Sword Hound
Return of the Mount Hua Sect
The Regressed Mercenary’s Machinations
Myst Might Mayhem
Sword-Devouring Swordmaster
Regressor of the fallen family
Reformation of the deadbeat noble
If we’re including webtoons,
I’ve been reading:
Demonic Beast Hunter Survival Guide
Logging 10,000 Years Into the Future
Breakers
Dungeon Odyssey
Reborn as the Heavenly Demon
Solo Farming in the Tower
Solo Max-Level Newbie
Surviving the Game as a Barbarian
Return of the Disaster-Class Hero
Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha
Star-Embracing Swordmaster
Revenge of the Iron-Blooded Sword Hound

Ah yeah, I think I’ve seen literally all of those on the website that I use.
I tried Surviving the Game as a Barbarian, but dropped around chapter ~70. Solo Farming in the Tower is on my list, same with Dungeon Odyssey.

Why’d you drop Surviving the Game as a Barbarian? It’s a good read. Dungeon Odyssey is good if not a bit dark.
I think the original Yu-Gi-Oh series and some of One Piece are the only animes I’ve actively watched. I don’t watch much TV, in general.

It just wasn’t as satisfying for me. I thought the beginning was really good, but the more I read, the more I wanted to drop it. Not sure.
The rest of those I really enjoyed.

You should pick it back up. It has picked up a lot since then.

I probably should. I just haven’t ever been a big fan of those types of isekai’s/world change. I do enjoy the world of murim though and some of the medieval fantasy.

It’s diving more into the lore now of the world.

Yeah, fair enough. Right now I’ve really been enjoying Absolute Sword Sense, Myst, Might, Mayhem, and My Slain Dragon Bride, and The Regressed Mercenary’s Machinations.
Chapter 113 of TRMM was sick.

You really need to read Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha then. The art is amazing.

Just look at this snippet from a panel.

I also read the first ~20-25 chapters of that and wasn’t a huge fan of the plot. It’s something on my list to pick back up though. I’m a sucker for art.

Really? The plot is 10x better, in my opinion, than some of the other webtoons.

I’ll try to pick it back up again then. I just wasn’t the whole huge fan of “being stuck in a game and someone controlling the board” ideal.

There’s actually more to it than that. I don’t want to spoil it though.

I’ll probably start reading it again tonight then. I’ve binged almost everything and am up to date on nearly everything I’m reading.
If you do start reading it again, that’d give us something to discuss.

I’ll start from the beginning, then see what I think by around chapter 50. I’ve been super indulged in Overgeared and a couple others lately.
Overgeared is on my list but I haven’t read much of it yet.

Imo, it really picked up around chapter 100 imo. At first, I was skeptical because I had started the anime, but the plot gets really good. ❤️

I usually read first and then check into the animes.

Same here. I just happened to stumble upon it though and read about some of the hype revolving around it. Watched the first 2 or 3 episodes that were released and binged every chapter that was released in less than a week.
I didn’t realize season two was out for an anime I had been following the manga of until YouTube started sharing some clips from it and I had to groan because it meant getting crunchyroll again.
